The first decade of Soviet cultural life was marked by a pluralism
unmatched in the subsequent history of the USSR. In many fields of
art and science, Party and non-Party "proletarian" and "bourgeois"
intellectuals worked side by side, vigorously debating questions of
substance and method. In this first major study of a Soviet field
of social science in the post-Revolution period, Dr. Solomon
examines the controversy that divided social scientists studying
the economy and society of the Soviet peasant during the 1920s. The
intellectual disagreements in post-Revolution Soviet rural studies
were exacerbated by social, political, and professional differences
among the contending scholars. The infighting between the groups
was bitter. Yet in contrast to recent studies of other Soviet
professions in the 1920s, the author finds that in rural studies
Marxists and non-Marxists had much in common. Her findings suggest
that the coexistence of the "old" and the "new" in Soviet rural
studies might have lasted for some time had not external political
forces intervened in late 1928, acting as a pressure on the field
and eventually causing its demise.
